I'd like to invite you to support the Black Adventurers at DC's Midtown Youth Academy. Midtown Youth Academy (MYA) aims to prepare underserved youth for success in educational and future endeavors by helping them to develop skills, self-discipline and cohesive relationships through sports and various other wellness and educational programs. MYA uses boxing and the gym as a vehicle to engage with teenagers, to keep them off the streets and introduce them to a broad platform of activities, including tutoring and mentoring, that would help them succeed at school and in their communities.
